Bayard Rustin, the architect of the 1963 March on Washington, once said that every community needs a group of "angelic troublemakers" to make nonviolent trouble for change. Good Trouble ...is a shot of adrenaline in the heart for those who hope for a better world. Every story in Good Trouble is a tale of underdog angelic troublemakers overcoming despair to beat the system. This history, in the tradition of Howard Zinn, tells the story of change from the perspective of people in the streets rather than from the gilded walls of corporate, or Washington, offices. —Jackie Allen-Doucot, St. Martin De Porres Catholic Worker, Hartford CT...a riveting chronicle of stories that prove time and again the actions of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Each story focuses on the power of organizing and mobilizing, relevant in any context, and can serve as a tool kit for nonviolent direct action. —Rev. Damaris D. Whittaker, Senior Minister, Fort Washington Collegiate Church, New York
